Servomotor Brakes

Brakes that bolt straight onto the servomotor and hold the axis if air or power is lost – air-released Eclipse (NexSafe, certified to ISO 13849-1) or electric Evolve.

How it works

How It Works

Default to Lock

Springs clamp the friction disc whenever there’s no air (Eclipse) or no power (Evolve). Air, or power to the coil, frees the shaft – so a failure always leaves the axis held. Flexible discs and a clamp collar keep it free of backlash.

Product finder

Find a Nexen Servomotor Brake

Every servomotor brake in the Nexen catalogues. Search a product number or model, or narrow it down with the filters – then open a card for its dimensions and drawing.

Read from the Nexen “Air Champ” catalogue (21150). Torque marked “up to” is the series’ maximum, not that part’s rating; torque is static at 80 psi unless the catalogue says otherwise. Check the catalogue page before ordering, or ask Norman G Clark.
